Susan Emmons, and Kathy Wai, Co-Chairs, provided welcoming words. Minutes for the November 23, 2020 meeting were approved unanimously with a change that added Councilor Christine Lewis as an attendee. Committee Business and Logistics Anneliese Koehler, Metro, discussed the importance of members disclosing any potential or actual conflicts of interest to the rest of the committee. At each meeting there will be space to declare conflict of interest. She recommended that if members have any questions, they should reach out to staff. She also explained that stipends would be available to committee members to overcome various obstacles to access like transportation, childcare, technology, and more. Both the conflict of interest form and meeting access stipend request form will be sent to members to fill out and return by email. Supportive Housing Services and upcoming Local Implementation Plan review Jes Larson, Metro, reviewed the Supportive Housing Services key terms and questions that came up as she followed up with committee members after the first meeting. “Housing First” is a concept that’s been used since the 1980s, and the belief is that you provide housing first before you address other needs an individual may that are barriers to them remaining housed. “Supportive housing” is permanent housing and wraparound services coupled together. “Regional share” is the ongoing operating funding for the 5,000 total supportive housing units across greater Portland. Washington County will receive 33.3%, Clackamas County will receive 21.3%, and Multnomah County will receive 45.3% of the funding. Jes then described the committee’s role to review and recommend the approval of Local Implementation Plans (LIPs). The counties are creating a high level strategy and framework for how they’ll be implementing the supportive housing services program in their jurisdictions. The LIPs will have been vetted heavily by stakeholders through County engagement processes prior to the committee seeing them. The committee will use the list of required elements to review the LIPs and ensure that all elements are adequately considered and addressed in each plan. She then reviewed the required elements of the plans. The ten elements of the LIPs are: racial disparity analysis, racial equity strategies, inclusive decision-making, a commitment to priority populations, current investment analysis, geographic distribution, access coordination, procurement commitments, planned investments, and outcomes reporting. She went on to explain the development and review process. Starting with local advisory bodies and community engagement to develop and draft plans; then County boards approve draft plans for review; next it will go to this Oversight Committee to review plans and make recommendations for approval to the Metro Council; any required changes may be taken back to County boards for approval; and finally to Metro Council who will consider the plans for final approval as a part of Intergovernmental Agreements. The tri-county advisory body hasn’t been seated yet, this group will be the technical experts who will improve upon regional coordination and systems integration throughout implementation. There was discussion between staff and committee members about the disparities in rates of homelessness within BIPOC communities in comparison to non-BIPOC communities. A suggestion was made by Co-Chair Kathy Wai to revisit the racial disparities of homelessness as a 30 minute agenda item in the future. Commissioner Ryan stated the importance of having the proper foundational system for the data inputs, so that we have reliable outputs. Group protocols Allison introduced the group to the group protocols review portion of the meeting. After providing an overview of the protocols, she opened the table up to a conversation about them so that the protocols reflect the agreements of the committee. We’re considering that a majority of voting members present is a quorum- eight, and also that you strive to reach consensus. There was a group discussion about meeting protocols and input was provided by members as to what preferences they have. Allison stated that the next step would be for her to take all of the feedback received and edit the meeting guidelines document for the group to review again at the meeting in January. The following are some of the points raised during the discussion. • Would like to have a discussion prior to voting. • Consensus decision making means that all members agree that moving the action forward is the best way to continue the process, but it may be that not everyone agrees with the stated action. • Another method to reaching consensus is yielding to the minority and ask what the majority can do to move the minority to consensus and vice versa until a consensus is reached. • If consensus can’t be reached on the Multnomah County LIP at the January 25th meeting, move the decision to the next meeting. • The committee can request revisions be made to the LIP before voting on it. • Place the public comment period at the top of the meeting agendas. • In an extreme scenario with a ¾ vote/six people, what is plan if non-BIPOC individuals are in the majority? How will the committee choose to address differences if it’s along BIPOC/non-BIPOC lines? • Like a Robert’s Rules hybrid. • The members could choose to define a quorum as 2/3 and then the ¾ vote would be 75% of the group. Public Comment Allison Brown, facilitator with JLA Public Involvement, opened the floor for public comment. • Peter Rosenblatt, NW Housing Alternatives and part of Clackamas County LIP Committee o Ensure the work is thorough and efficient and not driven by speed. Whether giving out money in April or September, people will not care in the future, they will be looking at how the foundation was set. He also proposed a hypothetical question about data-is it important or of value that the three counties have some common beliefs or common ways of looking at or even common data sets? Next steps • Next meeting January 25th, 9-11:30 AM, will be used to review the Multnomah County LIP Kathy Wai and Susan Emmons closed the meeting with thanks, and excitement about having the Multnomah County LIP coming to the committee. Susan hopes we’ll have 100% participation and that we won’t have to worry about quorums. The meeting was adjourned at 11:34 AM. Minutes respectfully submitted by Ash Elverfeld, Housing Program Assistant.

Do not open links or attachments unless you know the content is safe. Housing sevices committee, I live in SE Lents neighborhood where there are quite a few camps of houseless folks. I have seen encampments in areas like under the hawthorne bridge that have more resources like sanitation blocks, and I would love to see resources like sanitation stations, needle deposits, trash cans, food and tent donations, etc as a stop-gap measure while the council sorts out affordable housing (which I hope will include repurposing many of the empty houses, apartments and condos the city is full of so that all my neighbors can have a dignified place to live). I do not want more police in my neighborhood, I do not want to see houseless neighbors being forced to move or having their things taken from them. People are just trying to survive and if you waste any of your funding on more policing it will only harm our community.

    January 19, 2021 The Honorable Joseph Biden, Jr. President-Elect Office of the President-Elect 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20230 Dear President-Elect Biden, We write to you today as elected officials representing communities that have placed limitations on coordination between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement, often known as sanctuary jurisdictions. Our communities have prioritized protecting immigrants and refugees from the constant barrage of attacks leveled by President Trump and his administration over the last four years. We congratulate you on your historic victory in the 2020 Presidential Election. Your resounding 1 victory -- with the largest vote percentage obtained against an incumbent President since 1932 ​ -- ​ clearly provides you with a mandate to repudiate the policies of hate and division that have been promulgated by the current administration over the last four years. Today we are urging you to use your executive authority to immediately repeal, end, or replace many of the policies that the Trump administration has instituted to punish and demonize immigrant and refugee communities. These policies have not made our jurisdictions safer, nor resulted in a just or equitable immigration system, and have harmed the safety and cohesion of our communities. We are also urging you to take steps to repair the damage done to families, our communities, and the reputation of our nation by the inhumane acts of the Trump Administration. Most heinously, the Trump Administration’s policy of family separation has resulted in the callous separation of hundreds of children from their parents. As of October 2020, at least 545 children 2 have still not been reunited with their families .​ The immediate reunification of these families must ​ be a top priority of your administration.
